Akse khushbu hoon bikharne se na roke koi

Akse khushbu hoon bikharne se na roke koi

Aur bikhar jaaon to mujhko na sameTe koi

Kaanp uThti hoon main ye soch ke tanhaayi mein

Mere chehre pe teraa baan ba paDh le koi

Jis tarah kHwaab mere ho gaye rezaa rezaa

Is tarah se na kabhi TooT ke bikhre koi

Man to us din se hiraasaa.n hoon ke jab hukm mile

kHushk phoolon ko kitaabo.n mein na rak’khe koi

ab to is raah se wo shakHs guzartaa bhi nahin

ab kis umeed pe darwaaze se jhaanke koi

koi aahaT, koi aawaaz, koi chaap nahi.n

dil ki galiyaa.n baDi sunsaan hain ,aaye koi
